Pros

Some of the people are wonderful. Benefits are decent. Good way to enter the pharma/medical device industry.

Cons

More work is always being forced upon employees without management providing resources. 12 hour shifts can be challenging when everyone expects you to work for free as an exempt employee on your off days. Almost no one respects night shift schedule and expects night shift employees to be present at meetings throughout the day.
